If you live in a typical, normal suburban neighborhood, you may want to take a look around you once in a while.
Things going on in the next house may not exactly be what they appear to be.
In other words, the infamousKEY PARTIESof the 1950’s and 1960’s is making a significant comeback in neighborhood swinging circles.
Consensual Infidelity:
The True Story of One Ordinary Couple’s Experiment with Swinging
At least, that’s what Web Watch has been led to believe after learning about aHOTEL ROOM KEY PARTYthat took place with some friends of friends. No, it’s not an urban legend, because we trust our friends not to tell us jokey-jokes and to use those Urban Legend research websites that Web Watch has shared in the past.
It seems that at a local restaurant, two men just got up from their couples’ dinner, went out to the parking lot, and began punching each other out. We’re not talking about some random bar fight here – it was a standard restaurant with napkins and everything.
After the police showed up and figured everything out, our friends made note of the situation. After all, it’s not everyday that you get to see your friends get up from a restaurant table across the way and start hitting each other for seemingly no good reason.
But it ends up that this was all an act of chivalry gone bad.
The previous week, the three couples who were dining together all went on a road trip to a nearby resort hotel. Fine dining, a little wine — and a mixing of the hotel key cards — all took place. The men retired to their rooms to prepare, while the women selected a random hotel key from the set. The purpose? You paired up with whichever man was in the room waiting for you.
But it ends up that the gentleman at the restaurant who had the crap beat out of him actually didn’t sleep with his newly assigned partner. And that – according to the RULES OF SWINGERS that these couples were abiding by – was not allowed. He was obligated to sleep with her, by the groundrules that were established over dinner earlier that night (or before they all had departed for the resort, or maybe they’ve done this before.)
In essence, by honoring his new partner by not participating, it was interpreted as a poor reflection on his choice in women:
- “My wife isn’t good enough for you?”
- “You don’t find my wife attractive?”
were just two of the comments that were being shouted during the fight, Web Watch was told. He was beaten up because he DIDN’T sleep with another man’s wife.
Go figure.
So what are some other, more well-known RULES FOR SWINGERS? Here are some that you may want to consider:
- Don’t go to a swingers’ party alone.
- Always ask before doing. You never know what your new partner may, or may not, want to do
- Don’t wear underwear that’s difficult to remove
- If you’re taking a date to a swingers club for the first time, be sure to tell them ahead of time that’s the type of club you’re bringing them to.
And here are a few more very important SWINGERS BULLET POINTS to also keep in mind:
- Remember to RSVP
- Bring a host/hostess gift
- Leave your valuable jewelry at home
- Practice good oral and body hygiene
